Shercon Resort and Ecology Park, An Picture-worthy and Environment-friendly Resort in Batangas
The heat index in the country is alarmingly reaching dangerous state. Classes are being suspended due to the unbearable heat and I cannot blame people who are now desperately looking for ways to beat the scourging heat. If you are planning to visit a resort, now is definitely a great time.
Located in Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas is a unique and affordable resort that you can visit. Whether you just want a quick day tour or a staycation, Shercon Resort and Ecology Park will surely make your summer escape more memorable. Aside from a large variety of pools, the resort also comes with many areas offering different recreation activities which are ideal for team building, retreat, and family bonding moments. Not to mention the overlooking view of the Taal Lake.
The Swimming Pools
Interestingly, the 10-hectare land of Shercon initially started as a family resort which eventually evolved into a tropical haven, hotel and resort, and an ecological park.
The Amphitheater
One of the most popular attractions in Shercon Resort is their so-called Amphitheater. These are eleven pocket pools constructed like rice terraces. It even surrounded with beautiful landscape, allowing you to enjoy a refreshing bath while embracing the nature around you.
Each pocket pool varies in sizes as well.
Ecology Pool
This one is particularly surrounded by large variety of tall trees and and vegetation.
Infinity Pools
The resort actually offers multiple infinity pools scattered around the area.
Sophia’s Duck Pool
This pool comes with a kiddie area with a duck slide
A very kid-friendly area
The Hidden Pool
Shercon also comes with a Hidden Pool. While it is not really completely hidden, the resort is not including or revealing this area on their vicinity map.
This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Shercon. It is an opportunity not to be missed when visiting this resort, but of course, you need to exert a little effort to locate this hidden pool.
Aside from their pools, visitors also get the chance to try their recreational facilities. Most of which are ideal for team building and other similar events.
Human Chess
A large and almost human size chess can be found near the Ecology and Leisure Hall of Shercon. Interestingly, this is more than just a typical Chess replica because instead of traditional chess pieces, this one features Lapu-Lapu and Ferdinand Magellan.
Go Kart
Spacious Go Kart race area for kids and kids-at-heart
Maze Runner
A 400 sq.m maze runner that is open for both kids and adults.
Don’t worry, there are facilitators in the area to make sure that you’ll escape the maze safely.
Hanging Bridge
Another fun activity that you can try while exploring the resort is their hanging bridge.
The Zipline
Another amazing attraction in Shercon Resort is the ninety feet high Zipline. This, however, comes with additional fee, but definitely worth it.
Overlooking Taal Lake
